4 years ago Pawns with the ATPP_InRemoteControlMode hediff active will now no longer be rescued to MedPods after falling unconscious, so that they don't end up regaining consciousness while still controlling surrogate androids.
Pawns with the implant but without the hediff active can still use MedPods as normal.
It seems that blacklisting mechanical android pawns isn't all that's there to patching for Android Tiers.
AT comes with a gameplay feature where pawns with certain implants can remote control selected androids (a la Surrogates), but renders them unconscious while the remote connection is active.
At the moment, said unconscious pawns get rescued to the MedPod because they count as "downed", and end up having their remote control hediff removed, resulting in a pawn regaining consciousness at the same time as their Surrogate android (as well as bizarre behaviour involving connection/disconnection to Surrogates.
So far, here are the fixes that I can see are needed:
Mark the remote control hediff as
<isBad>false</isBad>, or blacklist them explicitly (latter requires #30 to be fixed)If a pawn with the remote control hediff is downed/unconscious, doctors should not haul them to MedPods
I'm going to try looping in Steam user Sentient_Worm for further insight, since they first reported this problem.
